Foundation & Premise of Rhythmic
Movement Training (RMT)
Rhythmic Movement Training (RMT) originated with the work of Kerstin Linde, a self taught movement therapist from Stockholm, Sweden. Further development and expansion of her work came from Swedish Psychiatrist Dr. Harald Blomberg, and Moria Dempsey, an educational and developmental kinesiologist from Australia.
The premise of RMT is that universal, natural, and reflexive movements done by infants and children actually stimulate brain connections and help the brain and the nervous system to mature. When this doesn't happen naturally, or if a trauma of any sort sets things back, the result can be a delay or regression in neurodevelopment. RMT attempts to take a step back into those natural, innate movements and get the brain and nervous system reconnected while integrating any persisting temporary reflexes.
